10 Conversations We've All Had With Our Parents During The Lockdown

Trust me, I understand what you’re going through! Being stuck with family during the 21-day nationwide lockdown might have started out a great bonding exercise, but on the 8th day , it’s beginning to seem like an impossible Big Boss task. Happy conversations have started to get more aggressive and free space ke naam pe, there’s only the balcony-- how does one survive?

Since we are all in this together, relating is the only thing we can do here. So I made a list of all the conversations you’re most likely to have with your family during this lockdown period. From love life to cleaning up your room for 476956th time, this family quarantine time is as real as real can get!

1. About the details of the lockdown

2. About your specific city and what exactly is happening there

If you’re in Mumbai, if you’re in Delhi, Kolkata, Pune, Hyderabad, there is a different conversation that follows!

3. Talking about your phone habits

Who is it you’re texting? How long will you be on your phone? Can you keep the phone away---this is a constant irritant.

4. About helping out around the house

You’re doing as much but clearly your parents are doing more and they’re always going to make sure you hear about it.

5. Cleaning your room AGAIN

They’ve come at you at least 56 times in the past 8 days to clean your room and here you are not understanding what else you can clean!

6. Confrontation about your bad habits, if any

If you’ve sneaked out to the terrace or the balcony for a smoke or a drink, rest assured, by now, they’ve hinted at knowing about it. You might have even had a full-blown confrontation as well!

7. Love life dynamics ?

At some point, your mom will be asking you questions about all of the boys you’ve loved before! Be prepared!

8. What the future looks like?

It’s uncertain but the conversation about it is pakka!

9. Work life conversations

Since you’re working from home, they’re more likely to overhear names and things they haven’t before. Which leads to questions and more conversations!

10. Your food timings

Chances are that by now, your food eating timing doesn’t align with everyone else’s in the house and you’ve been told so. Wanting snacks at odd hours or eating dinner after everyone has slept--not acceptable everywhere!
